Default engine won't start!!!

Hey from St.louis, Mo.

I purchased a rs4 rtr3 a few weeks ago,and its been a blast, but last friday night i took my car to work to show the guys and left it in my pick-up overnite. anyway,it got down to about 25 degrees that nite and when i tried to start it that next morning, nothing! i pulled on it when it was cold and it almost feels like no compression. i replaced all batteries,drained fuel and replaced with fresh, and even changed feul lines. the car ran great before all this, but it will not start! did i damage something by pulling it cold? please,any suggestionswould be great!

thanks,Tim

if it seems to have no compression maybe the pullstart is slipping....or do u have starter box? ussually when it is cold mettal contracts thus making more friction in your engine and then you would think it has more compression...if the engine is relly warm than it becomes easy to bull because it is hotter and the metal has expanded(this is b4 u start it)
this is just my 2 cents
